IFP shares its story: know-how in wire processing services

We meet IFP, an Italy-based company specializing in the production of wire rod and drawn wire, to delve into a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of its business: the specialized services offered to wire drawing plants and wire processing companies.

Services beyond wire production

We manufacture semi-finished products intended for further drawing or rolling, fully tailored to customer specifications. However, our true added value lies in our toll processing capabilities: we can draw, patent, and coat material supplied by our clients, guaranteeing strict compliance with demanding timelines and technical standards.

Advanced coating solutions

We offer phosphating, galvanizing, and Zn/Al 95-5% coating. These treatments are widely used in the automotive sector and for components exposed to aggressive environments. Our flexibility allows us to meet a wide range of specific requirements.

In-house laboratory and testing

We operate a fully equipped metallographic laboratory, which is one of our main strengths. We carry out mechanical tests (tensile strength, torsion, and bend tests), adhesion tests on coatings, wrapping tests, Preece tests, and even salt spray tests. The latter is quite rare since not all companies have the necessary chambers for this procedure.

Continuous investments in technology

We have acquired a state-of-the-art optical microscope for micrographic analysis. While we already had one, this new equipment enables much higher magnifications and greater precision. We use it for internal inspections as well as for external analyses, supporting customers and suppliers.

Future of technical services

Customers increasingly seek partners who can support them throughout the entire process, from production to quality control. It’s no longer just about delivering a wire but about ensuring traceability, compliance, and reliability. That’s why we continuously invest in our laboratory and in staff training: we aim to become a technical reference point, not merely a supplier.
